alex: pfff did you read the article? it says that she had sex with him on a PRIOR occasion. so that means he didn't rape her, cause she was obviously hanging out at his apartment AGAIN. i also said that what he did has NO JUSTIFICATION like 4 times, but you obviously skipped those parts to make your stupid little ''rapist'' remark. she's acting like a hoe and making shitty decisions in her life, and that's why she keeps hanging out at this asshole's apartment. if you think that her actions are ok, its probably because its something you might also do..

gabe, you sound like a rapist. it doesn't matter what she was doing, or how many times they had sex prior to the incident or how many people she had sex with before this guy. it wouldn't even matter if they were married. he's the one to blame. sex requires consent each time.

They did not meet at a school, her sleeping with him on another occasion, and her going to his to smoke,weed, drink and have sex is relevant in the sense that he didnt violate the student/teacher relationship.Like he didnt tutor her and grabbed a titty.Plus by putting teen in the headline it leaves the age up to the a reader which can be 13 on up.In this case she was 17.Its bad but it could have been worse.She ll be okay.

No dude, HE'S scum. At seventeen years old she should be able to make her own decision. She spent time with someone she probably shouldn't have been spending time with, granted. But didn't ask to be struck by him. This whole 'he lead her on' bullshit undermines the fact that what happened is domestic abuse and it's inexcusable. One party is at fault here.

did some of these people even read the article? she was at his apartment, drinking, smoking weed. she had sex with him before. we're not talking about an innocent little girl here. that doesn't justify what he did, but she's a hoe man. wtf is she doing at his apt.smoking weed and drinking!!!?
